Note 16 — Stock Based Compensation

Stock Option Plans

At December 31, 2011, the Corporation maintained two stock-based compensation plans from which new grants could be issued. The 2009 Equity Incentive Plan permits the grant of "incentive stock options" as defined under the Internal Revenue Code, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards to employees, including officers, and consultants of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. The 2003 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan permits the grant of non-qualified stock options to the Corporation's non-employee directors. An aggregate of 394,417 shares remain available for grant under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan and an aggregate of 431,003 shares remain available for grant under the 2003 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan. Such shares may be treasury shares, newly issued shares or a combination thereof.

Options have been granted to purchase common stock principally at the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant. Options vest over a three year vesting period starting one year after the date of grant and generally expire ten years from the date of grant.

The total compensation expense related to these plans was $35,000, $51,000 and $77,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

As a result of the compensation expense related to stock options: (i) for the year ended December 31, 2011, the Corporation's income before income taxes and net income was reduced by $35,000 and $21,000, respectively; (ii) for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Corporation's income before income taxes and net income was reduced by $51,000 and $31,000, respectively; and (iii) for the year ended December 31, 2009, the Corporation's income before income taxes and net income was reduced by $77,000 and $51,000, respectively.

Under the principal option plans, the Corporation may grant restricted stock awards to certain employees. Restricted stock awards are non-vested stock awards. Restricted stock awards are independent of option grants and are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the release of the restrictions. Such awards generally vest during a period specified at the date of grant. During that period, ownership of the shares cannot be transferred. Restricted stock has the same cash dividend and voting rights as other common stock and is considered to be currently issued and outstanding. The Corporation expenses the cost of the restricted stock awards, which is determined to be the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant, ratably over the period during which the restrictions lapse. During 2011, 2,780 shares were awarded while in 2010, 2,803 shares were awarded. During 2009, no shares were awarded. All shares were issued from Treasury shares. The amount of compensation cost related to restricted stock awards included in salary expense was $25,000, $25,000 and zero in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, all shares relating to restricted stock awards were vested. Thus, there were no restricted stock awards outstanding at December 31, 2011.

Options covering 27,784, 38,203 and 38,203 shares were granted on March 1, 2011, March 1, 2010 and March 1, 2009, respectively. The fair value of share-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions and weighted average fair values:

     
  2011   2010   2009
Weighted average fair value of grants   $ 1.89     $ 2.16     $ 1.48  
Risk-free interest rate     2.19     2.29     1.90
Dividend yield     1.32     1.41     4.69
Expected volatility     22.25     28.60     33.00
Expected life in months     65       62       69  

Option activity under the principal option plans as of December 31, 2011 and changes during the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 were as follows:

Outstanding at December 31, 2011     171,378     $ 10.01       5.93     $ 111,309  
Exercisable at December 31, 2011     105,388     $ 10.75         4.48     $ 41,611  

The aggregate intrinsic value of options above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the Corporation's closing stock price on the last trading day of the twelve-months of fiscal 2011 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on December 31, 2011. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the Parent Corporation's stock.

As of December 31, 2011, $59,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.39 years. Changes in options outstanding during the past three years were as follows:
